The Beach.

Post categories: The Beach

The beach is a state of mind, where we escape from the must to the maybe and what if, where thoughts may be lightly etched on the shore or sculpted in the sand, admired and commented on by others, then swept away by the waves or jumped on by small children of all ages...

I suspect the problem arises because you can work havoc as well as wreak it; this causes confusion when people think that wrought must therefore be the past participle of wreak - when it's the past participle of work. Wrought iron = worked iron.

Does anyone else remember that the first ever party on the frog was held on 17th October 2006? It was the second monthiversary of the blog as well as my birthday and the beach hadn't even been discovered, but there was food and drink and silliness galore. It all seemsso long ago!!

I used to have problems with my back, one symptom of which was that occasionally the feeling/response in my left leg would go AWOL - I'd put my foot down and get no sensation of it touching the ground.

The most spectacular event was at an outdoor reception, when I stepped down off a raised path and went ar@e over t't whilst holding a full pint of beer. I'm sure a lot of people thought that I was as drunk as a skunk. I had only just my first sip out of the pint though and managed not to spill a drop.

I remember my first pair of tights - twas in the mid 60s and they were American Tan! I have a box of unopened packs of tights dating from late 70s on, I didn't particularly mean to horde them, I was just fascinated by having coloured tights to co-ordinate with every outfit, and sometimes got a bit carried away if they were on special offer, or were irresistibly patterned.

DIY - Yes, lunch at 14:00, welcome to my working day! My record was 16:37 a few months back. Given that I'm normally a gibbering wreck... ok, more of a gibbering wreck than usual if I don't get food inside me every three hours (sleep not withstanding), I'm not quite sure what kind of a state I was in at the time. Still, I'm sure it was entetaining for my colleagues.

Ah, time for dinner! ;o) []

Fifi (195) - Please tell Aunt Dahlia that she has been sorely, sorely missed. I'd be glad if you would tell her of my change in 'nom de frogeur' and that I recall her saying of me: "if he can't be ar$ed I'll never darken his portal again...."? and that I return the sentiment.
